Brighton vs Manchester City LIVE: Latest Premier League updates
Brighton faces Manchester City in the Premier League, looking to replicate the impressive performance they had against Liverpool last weekend.
Despite suffering a 2-1 defeat in that match, the Seagulls managed to take an early lead against Arne Slot’s team, challenging the current league leaders to earn their win. They aim to recreate that performance against Pep Guardiola’s title-holding champions. Prior to the match against Liverpool, Brighton was on a three-game unbeaten streak and will look to take advantage of a City team that may not be at full strength.
Guardiola's team secured a narrow 1-0 victory against Southampton at the end of October; however, they have since faced three consecutive defeats. Tottenham knocked them out of the Carabao Cup, followed by a 2-1 loss to Bournemouth in their latest Premier League match. To make matters worse, Ruben Amorim’s Sporting CP thrashed them 4-1 in the Champions League. Will they be able to turn things around today?

Brighton Vs Manchester City: Match Preview
Brighton staged an impressive comeback to secure a 2-1 victory against Manchester City, showcasing a fantastic performance in the second half. City had the lead at halftime, thanks to a goal from Haaland, and they could have extended their advantage as they created several opportunities. However, after the break, Brighton came out determined and took control of the match, while City struggled to find their rhythm. Brighton threatened to score through efforts from Rutter and Joao Pedro, but it wasn't until the 78th minute that they found the net. Joao Pedro seized on a defensive error from City and netted the equalizer from close range. Just five minutes later, O’Riley made an impactful Premier League debut by scoring the winning goal, finishing off a well-crafted move from Brighton to put them ahead 2-1. As the match wound down, City found it difficult to respond and failed to equalize, marking their fourth consecutive defeat across all competitions. This win lifts Brighton to fourth place in the standings, just four points behind City, who remain in second place but risk falling further behind Liverpool at the top if they win later today. Brighton will have a chance to regroup during the international break before facing Bournemouth, while City will aim to bounce back against Tottenham in a couple of weeks. That wraps up our coverage for today; we hope you enjoyed the match!

OPPORTUNITY! Walker sends a cross into the penalty area from the right side, and Gvardiol finds himself unmarked as he connects with the ball, directing a strong header towards the lower left corner of the goal. Unfortunately, it goes past the post. He really should have aimed for the target with that one.
